Yes I am sure this is pretty common sense,but I am having a real hard time making this happen.I am a dental assistant and i am always at the Drs schedule. It is hard for me even to go to the bathroom. So I know I need to drink lots of fluid. My Dr and dietitian was not to pleased that this wasn't happening. Then I started to drink more. And now have problems with gurgling and belching. i asked my Dr she told me I need to sip my water and not gulp. How can I make this happen with lack of time. Also with eating the other day I ate a small salad at 1 and didn't leave work till 7. By around 4 I felt sick and the sickness stayed with me through the night. I try to listen to my dietitian she says eat protein I have tried a yogurt or high protein snack and doesn't seem to curve the appetite. I just let my stomach hurt till its time to eat again. Any ideas. What do you all do when working .

I know what your going through w/burping and gurgleing...it is embarassing. I can only take about 4 sips at a time and the colder the better, for me. My doctor told me not to eat lettuce, it is hard to digest and fills your pouch too quickly, so I have not had any lettuce. It is best to eat your 4oz of protein first, then if your still hungry, eat your veggies. Also if you eat too late in the day (my rule is not to eat after 7:00 pm) you will be sick whenever you lay down. I'm still learning as I go and it will be 1yr on june 1st, 2008. I have lost 55lbs and I feel great.

The dietician told me that yogurt has too many carbs to count as a protein snack. I was crushed.

There is yogurt that is Greek yogurt. It has low in carbs and 22 grams of protein. There is 2 different brands out there.Oikes I think and fajia . It is very bitter though. SO I add splender and even for a snack at night I add peanut butter just a little . Makes a good ice-scream alternative. The dietician said you can add a sugar free syrup to it. Or some fresh fruit.

I am right there with you! I work all the time often I leave the house at 6 AM and will not get home until 10 pm. I can not seem to find a way to eat to fit this hectic schedule! I have a problem if I try to eat to quickly( whilch basically my break time would require quick eating) I will slime--when I do it is bad so I often just do not eat as I could not work when these slime sessions happen. I am in health care and know it is important to take care of me, but am at a loss as to how I should even try to eat with my time schedule--but I would think not eating very much and being physically active as I am should create some weight loss and it is not---ugh!
